GUJAR KHAN: Six suspects have been taken into custody by the Jhe­l­um police in connection with a desecration case registered at the Kala Gujran police station a few days ago.

The case was registered on the complaint of a local resident, who claimed to have been handed over torched copies of the Holy Quran in the Mahmoo­dabad area. The case was registered under sections 295-A and 295-B of the Pakistan Penal Code.

Jhelum District Police Officer (DPO) Nasir Mah­m­ood Bajwa said two teams have been formed to look into the matter.

Meanwhile, the TLP called off its protest after Friday prayers following the arrest of suspects on Thursday.
